Keeping with the Christmas theme I've have going on here all week, I'm going to share my bedroom Christmas tree today for Show and Tell. I have 3 trees in my apartment this year. Lauren also wants one in her room so we may have 4 soon!

I bought this tree on sale at Ace Hardware for only $20. I may try to paint that urn to make it look a little less plasticy.

I decorated it with shells and dried hydrangeas, both of which I already had on hand.

I also have some exciting news to share! Guess who I will be hanging out with Sunday morning...EDDIE ROSS!!! I'll be out shopping at a Flea Market right on the San Francisco Bay with Eddie Ross on Sunday morning! I'm so excited! Early this year he was asking his readers to let him know about great flea markets in their area. I left a comment about the Alameda Flea Market and he put that on the schedule! Back then December seemed so far away but now it's here! I was worried about rain earlier in the week but now they say the rain won't come until Sunday night! Yay! Of course I'll bring my camera along to share the fun with you! I'm sure most of you know who Eddie Ross is but if not you can read about him on his blog, just click here.

No, I had not heard of Eddie Ross, but I am going to go and read his blog. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you! Vicki

I love the idea of having a little or big Christmas tree in every room. Unfortunately I don't have so much space in my home!My post is up here at http://mylittleplace.blog.com/2009/12/04/show-and-tell-friday-14/

I'd Love to go with? I'm in Nebraska and IT'S SNOWING??? and you are at a Flea Market..... I'm shopping jealous. Have a BALL and we'll need a FULL report. Way cool ! Thank you last week for your kind words.

Beautiful tree and perfect size for your bedroom. Lauren definetely needs a tree too.I didn't know Eddie Ross, but I do now. I went to his website. How lucky for you to get to spend Sunday with him at Alameda. He's a talented guy. I also found out about Sunday's show Celebrity Holiday Homes which is was a part of. Thanks for responding to my question about your little silver deer. You are so sweet.Always love coming here and seeing your talents.

Hello Cindy, this is my first time to join Show and Tell, I learned through Cindy of House with Two Cats. I was attracted by the Christmas decorations, I have seashells at home and I never thought it could make a very nice Christmas tree ornaments. Thanks for sharing.

Oooh...so pretty, Cindy! Your entire home is looking "out of this world" gorgeous in all of its Christmas finery!!! I just spent the last half hour going through all of your Christmas decor! Each room just looks like it jumped off of a design magazine page!

I do love your little tree that you have in your bedroom...love the hydrangeas and pretty shells! It's soooo YOU, my friend! Ohhh...and what I would do for some of those pretty dried hydrangeas!!! I don't think we can even grow them here in Colorado!

Cindy...I just couldn't believe my eyes when I read about your shopping with Eddie Ross this Sunday...Ohhhh myyyy gosh!!! I am such a big fan of his...I can't imaging getting to spend time with him! Are you nervous? Hehe! Ohhh my gosh...I would be! Have lots of fun..take lots of photos...because we want the scoop, Girl!!!

Warmest wishes,Chari @Happy To DesignPS...thank you so much for hosting Show & Tell Friday! I always enjoy participating!

Thank you Cindy for another visit to your home. Your trees are exquisite. I linked my post(today's as I've done so many times with other parties) to you, I checked the link and got a note that page doesn't exist. Yet I can not add another Mr. Linky. Just wondering Mr. Linky is having issues again. Thanks for being such a gracious hostess!

I live in the East Bay and LOVE Alameda Flea Market! I'll look for you both Sunday. Fingers crossed no rain until night! It will be brisk early in the morning, but oh-so-many finds if you get there early! Have fun!!~ Iva

Your home is always so beautiful! I enjoy looking through all of your Christmas photos. I am so jealous that you get to meet Eddie Ross!! What I would do to be there! I can't wait to see your photos! Have fun!! -April

I adore your beautiful little sea themed tree. It is simple, elegant and oh so gorgeous! It also gives off a serene ambiance which is so great for a bedroom. Hope you enjoy your shopping adventure this weekend.

Cindy, it's looking beautiful at your house!! So romantic and soft, love that seashell tree in the urn. I just got a new urn tree from Ballards outlet that I'll be showing next week. They are so versatile.

Your whole place looks gorgeous! How fun to be shopping with Eddie. I had a great time in ATL earlier this year meeting him & shopping. Great fun, you will have a blast! Tell Eddie I said hello, please!

What a softly romantic Christmas tree! I've never considered neutrals as "Christmas Colors", but wow....I do now! :-) Love the warm tones of the dried hydrangeas and the soft glow of the shells. Beautifully done!!

I bought the same tree at Ace! I just put it in my front bay window. I will put some little red cardinals on it plus I put on some little garland that I got in the dollar store. I also was thinking of painting the plastic urn, but couldn't decide on the color.
